Western Coffee Fixation On Choice Types Poem by Terence George Craddock

If asked the question how do you take your coffee?

sacred coffee black customers give answers
Espresso, Caffè Americano, Long Black, Lungo
taken white with milk your into Flat White
Café Latte, Cappuccino, Macchiato, Mochaccino
alternatives filtered coffee or Irish Coffee
Irish whiskey sugar cream a thick layer on the top
Affogato a dessert a shot of espresso poured
over a dessert usually ice cream is delicious

coffee snobs would turn up nose at instant
instant coffee is coffee with all water removed
grains left are soluble coffee hot water added
good for hiking camping a home coffee rush

just a postscript if your ever down under
in New Zealand a double-shot of espresso
is go to basis of all our coffee beverages
cappuccino with a little more kiwi kick hit

a coffee kick fix to kick start a workers day
